I’m old. I lean on things. I happened to lean on the outdoor socket on my 215RBK when I stood up from placing the X-Chocks and it moved. A lot. I realized that they were using the foam on the outlet cover to seal the giant hole in the side of the trailer.

I hate having the hoses and shore power cables sitting on the ground. I saw a picture of this on the internet and I thought it was brilliant. I’ve since lost the link of the original, but here’s my version. To make this work, I combined two really good (but still inexpensive) suction cups and…
